EARLY ACTIONS OF CADMIUM IN THE RAT AND DOMESTIC FOWL TESTIS

The location of cadmium (Cd) has been demonstrated in the testis of the mouse 16 days after injection (Berlin & Ullberg, 1963) and in the testis of the rabbit and guinea-pig 1 hr after injection (Skold, 1961). The arrival of ¹⁰⁹Cd in the testis of the rat and the domestic fowl as early as 2 min after injection has been found (Johnson & Miller, 1970).

The damaging effect of Cd in the mammalian testis and the absence of such an effect in the avian testis has been recently reviewed by Gunn & Gould (1970). This differential effect raises the question of whether location of Cd is different in the testes of these two groups of animals. In attempting to answer this question, the location of ^115mCd in the
